Yeah, the next round of 35mm sensors should be outstanding, judging by the K5/D7000/A580.

Not to beat a dead horse too much :deadhorse:, and at the risk of staying off topic, I emailed Joakim about the quality of the Dalsa sensors, as much that I have read was in regards to the Kodak sensors, and he was kind enough to give me permission to post his email:Douglas,
The sensors in M8, M9 per what I understand indeed are built on old sensor design and that originally for M8. The newer generation sensors in Leaf and Phase One backs (latest are 80MP sensors) are new designs (fabricated by Dalsa) to achieve the best image quality possible at 80MP today. The fact that they use CCD does in itself not mean outdated technology, it is matter of choice (those who prefer high ISO disagree). I do believe Dalsa and Kodak are capable of higher quality sensors than Sony, but we can disagree. On other hand I believe we agree that the final output is what counts. Above as concerning X100 is slight :OT:.
I did miss out using the old honecomb sensor... pity if they not use a Fuji sensor :deadhorse:... :watch:

Well, I could stay quiet (though you quoted my post)... or... simply state that our opinions differ and I politely do not wish waste time do dig and dig. Is it not so that whenever discussions relating to demonstrate or justify dslrs or dslr sensors should equal or better mfdb ones that discussion is dragged deeper and deepr into scientific details to justify and prove one tireless point?? That is pointless. I can say again that I prefer sensors from Dalsa and Kodak and that thus my opinion is that they are the top, but also the Fuji ones seem interesting because of their hdr capacity and the old patent on Foveon type. Seems what you quoted is focus on noise? MF sensors are not aimed at high ISO but ultimate image quality. That does not mean that Dalsa and Kodak are capable of only one sensor, does it?? :toocool:So, I still contend that there is no reason why Fuji would consider using Dalsa (or Kodak) for their APS-C camera. MFDB isn't about sensor quality itself at the pixel level, but, rather, taking advantage of nice, large sensors.
I fear that it does . . . incidentally, I rather agree about Kodak and Dalsa sensors . . . but I can't see how you could possibly have incorporated a CCD (rather than a CMOS) into a camera where live view is unquestionably the main point, and where contrast detect focusing is going to be the main method.Seems though... X100 is already feels tad old prior released :ROTFL: ...

You folks are just accelerating the usual cycle of Magpie Syndrome to new heights. It used to be:...

:ROTFL: Probably . . .This is good at least in that you might spend less money. However, I bet a good number of you buy it anyway... ;-)
Yeah ... I bought the first new camera I'd purchased since December 2008 after planning to buy its predecessor for three years. I just keep buying equipment willy nilly, helter-skelter.Probably . . .
You're a fine one to talk with your shiny new E5 (I think you were the first person in the world to get one!).
. . . . . and so am I with my shiny new K5, although my credentials are nothing like as good as yours
:ROTFL:That's the one Godfrey!Yeah ... I bought the first new camera I'd purchased since December 2008 after planning to buy its predecessor for three years. I just keep buying equipment willy nilly, helter-skelter.
I'm your model GetDPI photo equipment geek.
At your service.That's the one Godfrey!
The profligate we all know and love!
But will you buy an X100?
HI There - interesting point that - but do they have a separate sensor for live view and video?Regarding liveview and CCD sensors, don't Panasonic use CCDs in a lot of their bridge and super compacts and they all have liveview and HD video?
Sorry we seem to be getting a bit off topic again.
Would love a future X10x with interchangeable lenses, let's hope Fuji are thinking along those lines.
Nah... there must be another solution to that. All videocams used to have CCDs, didn't they, and I believe some still have. Video is live view per definition, isn't it?HI There - interesting point that - but do they have a separate sensor for live view and video?
I understood that it wasn't possible with a CCD?
Interesting - but do you think Leica would be pleased about that?I hear Panosonic is in the final testing stages of a mirrorless Leica M mount crop camera.
